So I gave his service a try with my tanto. I sent it in November 2013 and it just arrived back (very good turn around time). The results are amazing. I am very happy with the quality of the work. The lines are crisp, the temper is vivid and clear, the hada, although being shinshinto and very tight, is visible and brought out nicely. You will note the tip had been damaged, you would never know that now, it looks "perfect" the blade was reshaped properly. The polisher also carefully removed the red rust from the nakago so now it looks as it should. I took a couple of quick pictures. The shirasaya and tsunagi fit well. Thank you Kunitaro san and your craftsmen

 

I am not very good with the camera and these are quickly taken as I am just back from Tampa

"Awesome" sounds like an understatement for this result. Thanks a lot for sharing.

 

Did you paid for master polish or standard polish?

[LakeBum]

That is a great looking tanto, congrats on a chance well taken!

as it was a decent tanto, but shinshinto by a minor maker so thought the "standard" polish was appropriate, but I was very happy with the quality.
